Giorgio Faletti (born November 25, 1950) is an Italian writer, actor and singer-songwriter. Born in Asti, Piedmont, he currently resides in Elba Island.
After a career as TV comic actor, with some parts for cinema, he began to write and sing songs, taking part to three editions of the Sanremo Music Festival in 1992-1995. He also wrote songs for Mina and for two albums by Angelo Branduardi, Camminando camminando (1996) and Il dito e la luna (1998).
In 2002 he published a thriller entitled Io uccido (I kill), which sold 3,5 million copies in Italy. It was followed by Niente di vero tranne gli occhi (2004), Fuori da un evidente destino (2006), Pochi inutili nascondigli (2008) and Io sono Dio (2009).
Faletti recently played in the teen-film comedy Notte prima degli esami. In 2007 he wrote the album In territorio nemico for Milva.
He is well known as a big fan of Juventus FC, the most storied club in Italian football.
Substantial evidence (see link below) has been found suggesting that Faletti is not the real author of his novels.
